(RADIATOR) Radiator logging

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Ash -

If tcpdump sees the requests, but Radiator does not, it can only be  
because the radius UDP ports are overflowing the buffer pool.

You can check how long Radiator is taking to process requests by  
looking at a trace 4 debug with a LogMicroseconds logger (requires  
Time-HiRes from CPAN). Performance problems with Radiator are almost  
always due to database performance issues.

regards

Hugh
